The fate of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Earlier this month, Hearst announced that it was putting the Seattle Post-Intelligencer up sale and that it would stop printing the paper in 60 days.
But the company also said it was considering an online-only option for the P-I.
As the deadline gets close, that plan is still under review.
From the story:

In an e-mail Wednesday, Hearst general counsel Eve Burton wrote to the committee that the company “is still studying” whether it will continue the P-I online-only, but if it does, it would be outside the Joint Operating Agreement, a contract between the P-I and The Times since 1983…”We’re happy to get some answers,” said Kathy George, an attorney for the committee. “The most important question, however, remains whether the P-I will stay alive as a Web operation, so we’ll continue to pursue that question.”
